DnD Male Name Generator

Male D&D names that feel right at the table follow patterns laid out in the 5e Player's Handbook, and each race has its own sound. Human names depend on the character's homeland in Faerûn: Chondathan men carry plain, English-sounding names like Darvin Greycastle or Stedd Tallstag, Calishite names such as Khemed Basha have an Arabic cadence, Damaran names like Grigor Kulenov sound Slavic, Illuskan names are Norse-tinged, Mulan names hyphenate (So-Kehur, Thazar-De), Shou names are short and Chinese in flavour, and Turami names like Rimardo Falone lean Italian.

Non-human races are more distinct. Elf men take flowing names with soft consonants and family names like Galanodel or Siannodel; dwarves use hard, clipped names such as Tordek or Bruenor plus a clan name like Battlehammer; halflings sound friendly and rustic (Milo Tealeaf, Roscoe Hilltopple); dragonborn put the clan name first in formal settings; half-orcs go by a single blunt syllable like Krusk or Thokk; and tieflings either keep an infernal name like Damakos or adopt a virtue name such as Creed. Goliaths add an earned nickname and tabaxi use a descriptive phrase like Five Timber.

The list mixes the official example names with original ones written to match each culture's phonology, so whatever race you roll, there is a name that sounds like it belongs in the Forgotten Realms.
